The Day Tote is the perfect sized bag for all of your needs whether it’s for groceries, the beach, the gym or work. We were inspired by the ‘everyday tote - the workhorse of the bag department. We wanted to elevate this concept and create something more beautiful and functional than the standard tote.
The design features of the Day Tote include a roomy interior with side panels, a base panel, a total of four handy pockets including a laptop pocket for devices or books. Decorative piping not only adds a pop of colour but helps the bag retain its structure and the dual handles look stylish as well as making the bag comfortable and user friendly.
Suitable for all levels including total beginners.
Dimensions: 40cm x 28cm x 18cm
Suitable fabrics: The design options for The Day Tote are endless - you can choose different fabrics for different seasons and create a completely unique look each time.
Main Fabric:
We recommend choosing a sturdy fabric for your main fabric. Suitable fabrics include cotton canvas or waxed cotton with a weight of around 9-13OZ / 300-450GSM.
Lining:
We recommend choosing a relatively sturdy lining to help give the bag shape - cotton canvas is a good option with a weight of around 7-10OZ / 250-350GSM. Your lining will be very visible when using the bag so choose a colour that compliments the main fabric.

A mid/light weight cotton or linen is recommended for the piping to help reduce the bulky seam allowances. You can also think about introducing a pop of colour through your piping choice!

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Caring for your fabrics is essential to maintain their appearance and longevity. Here are some essential fabric care tips to make your clothing last longer and look great.
First and foremost, always check the care label on your garments. While most fabrics benefit from similar care, certain items like wool may have specific instructions. For general care, wash your fabrics in cool or cold water. Hot water can degrade fibers and cause colors to fade.
Avoid using chlorine bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric over time. Instead, choose a phosphate-free detergent. These gentle detergents clean effectively without harming your textiles.
When it comes to drying your clothes, it's best to tumble dry on a low setting. This helps prevent shrinking and unnecessary wear and tear. For the best results, dry similar colors together to avoid color transfer. If you want to maximize the longevity of your fabrics, consider line-drying your clothes. This method reduces the risk of damage from the dryer’s heat and can also save energy.
Ironing your fabrics? Always check the appropriate heat settings based on the type of fabric you are working with. Utilizing the right heat can help you avoid burns and preserve the integrity of your garments.
If you have any delicate items, laundering them in a mesh bag can provide extra protection during the wash cycle. Always be mindful of embellishments and finishes when caring for your fabrics.
Ultimately, proper fabric care ensures that your clothes continue to look fresh and new. By following these easy tips, you can enjoy your favorite garments for years to come.
